Maybe this was not Turner, but the work of the WDNWHA committee? Mr. Rydell??

Not getting a response is a response.

No. We did not rule on either of these kids. We have not had time to issue a full statement because we are currently in closed door session meeting about Mr. Turner. This could be our first administration decision ever.

Sorry, we were talking about Ike when I did my response. Should have been Dr.

For those of you that emailed various officials at SMU and received no response - do you feel disrespected? After all, you contribute money, most attended SMU, some sent their kids to SMU, and you buy tickets and attend games. But you are not important enough to get a simple response. I hope everyone remembers this the next time SMU asks for money or to renew tickets. I know I will.

Billy Joe-

I may be way out of bounds on this thought, but my impression is that administration feels that by keeping quiet this issue will disolve away in a few days...for Samurai Stang, I think the Japanese term is the 'stomach game'..(not dignifying with a response).

Enter the media...now things may get racheted up a knotch or two.

Ignoring a controversial issue by and large has been successful in the past ( see our geldings 'Dog-Food' and 'Glue-Boy' added as psuedo mascots). There is no reason to answer individual contacts...big time programs like a&m don't have to please everyone, and SMU is positioning itself to be 'top 25' in EVERYTHING we do...remember?

meanwhile crickets chirp happily, and our friends in Ft. Worth roll their eyes again...

No. I don't expect a personal response. I give a whopping $250 a year plus season tickets.
All I want to know is what the admissions standards are, not to be misled, and not reject kids 2 days before the move into the dorms.

How much do you need to contribute to get a response...

I would like some acknowledgment

FWIW I do not answer emails when I go on vacation either. Now if Dr. Turner feels this situation does not warrant leaving his vacation behind and returning to town to answer emails, that is his right. I again would not cut my vacation short if I felt justified in my decision.

This is not meant to be a statement if support but rather an explanation as to why nothing is coming out if his office. I had heard he was gone on vacation and have not heard anything to dispute that.

If I have a building named after me or I am paying June's salary, then I would like a phone call from the powers that be. For my whopping $250, a blanket statement releasing some minimal details on what happened and how we can speed up the process in the future so we don't leave kids hanging.

Sorry Mark but when you get a salary of one mill a year you're on call 24 7.

The 30 of us here on Pony Fans are a powerful group doesn’t he know this? :lol:
